"Carrara Marble Cupido - G. Pugi"
An exceptionally fine 19th-century marble sculpture, carved from high-quality white Carrara marble, depicting Cupid, the god of love. This charming work is signed Pugi Firenze, after the renowned sculptor Guglielmo Pugi, active in Florence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The graceful figure of the young Cupid sits casually on a rock, with intricately carved wings, a soft, dreamy expression, and a butterfly perched on his chest—a subtle symbol of fleeting love or the soul. The elegant posture and delicate gestures demonstrate great technical mastery and a refined aesthetic sense.
